Installing an Add-In in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint

What are add-ins?

In computing, an add-in (also called plug-in, add-on or extension) is a software component that adds specific commands and features
to a software - in the example case Microsoft Excel®, but Microsoft PowerPoint® works alike.

Planning Helpers are VBA add-ins and come in the regular add-in file formats: .xlam (Excel) and .ppam (PowerPoint). For the set-up you do not need admin rights.
